Winner of the Pneuma Book Award 2018, from The Society for Pentecostal Studies.

Pentecostalism is the most rapidly growing branch of Christianity since the 20th century, yet it does not lend itself well to a singular doctrine and there is, therefore, no single comprehensive account of Pentecostal theology worldwide. In this volume, Wolfgang Vondey suggests an account of Pentecostal theology that is genuine to Pentecostals worldwide while allowing for different adaptation and explication among the various Pentecostal groups. He argues that Pentecostal theology is fundamentally concerned with the renewal of the Christian life identified by the transforming work of the Holy Spirit and directed toward the kingdom of God.

The book unfolds in two main parts illustrating the full gospel story and theology. Eleven chapters identify the spiritual underpinnings and motivations for Pentecostal theology, formulate a Pentecostal theology of action, translate, apply, and exemplify Pentecostal practices and experiences, and integrate Pentecostal theology in the wider Christian tradition.

Industry Reviews

"Wolfgang Vondey's Pentecostal Theology is a creative, constructive, and far ranging contribution to the development of Pentecostal theology. Grounded in the Pentecostal experience of the full gospel, it provides both a fundamental Pentecostal theology and a Pentecostal perspective on major categories of systematic theology. The book marks a new phase of efforts to develop a comprehensive or systematic Pentecostal theology." - Journal of Pentecostal Theology

Vondey's presentation of Pentecostal theology is a winsome, masterful account attuned to all the latest in Pentecostal scholarship. It is both innovative in its presentation of the whole of the Pentecostal full gospel narrative as centred around the altar, and yet broadly Pentecostal--and, at points, ecumenical--in its constructive appeal. It will gain a wide readership, and justly so. Indeed, it is the ideal book for an upper-level undergraduate or graduate course on Pentecostal theology. - Pneuma

"Wolfgang Vondey's Pentecostal Theology: Living the Full Gospel is a substantial publication that will no doubt become recognized as seminal ...with this publication [Vondel] has made an indelible mark in the academy for academic Pentecostal theology." - Reading Religion
